Most wealthy folk don't keep cars for years. These problems are now 2nd, 3rd , etc.,
owner issues.😅

A local independent Porsche shop where I live talked me out of buying a used Panamera 4S from CarMax. The owner stated that I should only become a Porsche owner if I considered myself affluent. I listened and ate a non-refundable shipping charge. The best wasted $500 ever.

Using an embalming machine as a fluid pump is possibly the most morbidly cool repurposing idea I've seen on any channel.

ah yes the fiber board under panels. aka the engine diapers. they dont do anything to protect the vehicle there mainly there just to catch the oil leaks and soak them up so you dont notice the leaks before warranty runs out.

Pelican Parts tutorials have saved my bacon at every step of ownership.

Love using Pelican parts. Not only do they sell parts, they have advice on installation.

You’re not going to believe me, Wizard, but I literally saw one just two days ago in good condition and at a very tempting price. I thought to myself, “I know Porsches like the Macan are difficult and expensive to maintain, but how bad could it really be? Maybe I’ll take the chance and buy one for myself.”

Well… after watching this video, there’s absolutely no way I’m touching one of these cars. It’s simply not worth it.
You literally saved me tons of money.

To replace the belt on the Alfa Romeo Guilia and Stelvio QVs, you have to take the front end off too. The Alfa QV's also have a dual coolant system that has 6 drain points so a Coolant flush is almost a grand!

The leather colour is generally called “Oxblood”….

Interesting car… great performance package.

lol being in New Mexico is probably so much less stressful than being back in Kansas and having to deal with Hoovie all the time even if it made you good money
